Guitar-Case Gun Smuggler Arrested in Brooklyn

A Brooklyn man was arrested for selling 51 guns hidden in a guitar case to undercover NYPD officers, authorities announced today, in one of three recent stings that resulted in eleven indictments and scooped up 154 guns. Those operations, combined with last week’s sixteen indictments and more than 100 seized illegal weapons, are somehow both comforting and unsettling atonce.
